Description

Introducing the sultry and sensational Amaryllis 'Tabasco'—our exclusive addition to the Hippeastrum family that's set to ignite your indoor spaces with its smoldering beauty. This exquisite cultivar stands out with its vibrant tabasco red petals that seem to have been kissed by the brushstrokes of nature herself, flaunting elegant merlot red stripes that echo the richness of a fine wine.

A true showstopper, the Amaryllis 'Tabasco' boasts large, trumpet-shaped blossoms that are sure to draw attention with their bold, fiery hue. Each petal unfurls to reveal a symphony of colour, depth, and aesthetics that make this flower an instant classic. The rich contrast between the dynamic reds lends an air of sophistication and drama to any setting, making it a perfect choice for gardeners and floral enthusiasts seeking to add a splash of luxurious colur to their collection.

As a member of the Hippeastrum genus, Amaryllis 'Tabasco' is more than just a pretty face. It is easy to care for and adaptable, thriving both indoors in containers and outside in milder climates when planted after the danger of frost has passed. Its sturdy stems can reach impressive heights, supporting several magnificent blooms that will grace your living space with their presence for weeks!
